All Chapters of Resurrection: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Karani briefly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. I knew how hard this was for her. She didn’t like looking at people’s memories, especially painful ones like these, but she’d done it for Shoran without even thinking about it.“I went to Shoran’s hospital room and looked at her memories. The things I’m going to tell you now, are the things that happened to her. She was awake and alert for most of it. James is correct, by the time he got back to the house, Dave had already raped her once.She was pressed down on the table and Dave took the letter opener from the table and then he repeatedly raped her with it. Shoran had counted fourteen times that he stuck it inside her with force. She was bleeding profusely and she passed out while he laughed.”This time, Malachi had tears in his eyes as well and he squeezed Karani’s shoulders. James didn’t look at anyone, his gaze was fixed on the floor. He stood up without saying a word, wiped his eyes and left the den.I hurried out after him

As James walked out of her room, Shoran began to cry uncontrollably. It hurt so much to see him walk away from her. Why had she taken her ring off? Why didn’t she tell him that she would come back? She felt more hurt emotionally than she did from her injuries and surgery. Losing the baby was one thing, but losing him too, it was too much and she broke down.Shoran wiped her tears away as her parents walked into her room, concern etched onto their faces. Her mother hugged her tightly and began to cry.“Don’t cry, Mom,” Shoran said and tried to comfort her mother.“I’m so glad you’re coming home, sweetheart,” her mother said and sniffed.“It’s just until I’m better, remember,” Shoran reminded her.“You can’t honestly want to come back to this place!” The look on her mother’s face spoke volumes and Shoran knew she had to rectify the situation.“Mom, nothing’s changed. I still love James. I’m just confused at the moment. I just need some time to figure everything out,” Shoran argued.“You

Dave got into his truck and drove to the nearest bar. He sat drowning his sorrows and decided that he would go scout up the surroundings at the big house in the woods. There had been no new activity in town, so pack-affiliates couldn’t have arrived yet.He didn’t have a lot of knowledge about how packs worked, having grown up as a lone wolf for most of his life, he didn’t really care for pack etiquette. He had no desire to be an Alpha or any rank for that matter. He just wanted his cut, the cut of Adara’s inheritance that Ramos had promised him. Supposedly, the little girl was worth a few million and even more than the money, he wanted a taste of her.He stumbled to his truck for a bit as his body heat evaporated the alcohol. He felt slightly better and got into his truck. He sat there for a few minutes, making sure he was completely sober before he drove off.He drove towards the hospital, a route he hadn’t taken before, so any scents up there would be fresh and new to him. He doubt

“The baseball bat was a nice touch kid,” Dave said and cocked his head to one side to emphasize where James had hit him. “You know, I could show you a few tricks for your girlfriend.” Dave’s manic laugh had James seeing red.His anger boiled over and he took Dave’s head and smashed it into the bars of the cell. He stopped when he realized that Dave had passed out again, the blood gushing from his mouth and nose.He took Dave and placed him on the board and secured his hands tightly with the shackles. He couldn’t go anywhere now; he had yet to place the collar around his neck. He needed time to think. When he had started following Dave, all he could think of was Shoran’s screams and his baby, now dead, as Dave pressed her down on that table.Those memories had fueled his rage and anger, and he was determined to strike back. He hadn’t thought beyond the fact of what he would actually do when he had Dave. He had just focused on getting Dave alone.The bloodlust boiling in his veins had b

“We’ll need bricks or rocks to weigh the bags down,” Malachi said.I gathered a few of the biggest stones I could find and placed them in the bags. Malachi seemed so calm and while my heart was thudding against my ribs, I still felt like I was composed.“Don’t think about it too much,” Malachi said as he opened a tap on the outside of the den and washed his hands.“I’m trying not to, but the fact that Shoran did this…it just kind of amazes me that she’s handling it so well.”Malachi smiled as I washed my hands as well and leaned against the den’s wall. “Shoran’s stronger than people give her credit for. The fact that she came back and exacted her revenge tells me that she’ll be okay. What happened to her won’t rule her life and she won’t wallow in misery forever. It’s easy to keep lying when the odds are against you, but she won’t.”“I saw it in her eyes tonight. She won’t give up and that just makes me respect her more, but this is going to get messy, Dad. Ramos won’t stay quiet abou
